The festivities concluded the following day with the wedding party, family and friends attending the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, (marching bands from numerous nations accompanied by fireworks at Edinburgh Castle.) After honeymooning in Tuscany, Italy, and Spain, the newlyweds had a "Blessing of the Rings," officiated by Monsignor Wellman at Tanglewood Hills on Sept. 27, 2008, in the USA. Family and friends joined Krista and Ed for a second reception at Tanglewood Hills, Bettendorf, so those who could not attend the Scotland wedding could join in celebrating their new life together.
